Black Text = fans who submitted questions to Top of the Pops
Blue Text = Emma Bunton
Lousie: If you were to get stuck in a lift, dead or
alive, with anyone at all. Who would it be and why?
Emma: I would have to say Elvis Presley because I
thought he was very handsome. And I would love him to
sing to me with his guitar.
TOTP: Nothing else would happen in the lift, just
singing?
Emma: Of course.
James: Who is your favourite artist of this year and
does it remind you how hard it was when you first
started out with the Spice Girls?
Emma: It's hard. Seeing so many bands out there at the
moment, and they are all so good. It must be nice for
them, the kids especially, to have all types of music
and be influenced by that. And it is hard. You really
have to look back and think they are just starting
out. But it's lovely to see them all out there.
TOTP: Who has made their mark with you this year?
Emma: There is so many. Dido, who I am a big fan of.
And actually, she is a big fan of mine. She loves my
album. So, I was very pleased about that. Alicia Keys
is another amazing new singer. There is loads but they
are my faves.
Julie: Love your new song. It is really upbeat. I
would like to know who your favourite musical
influences are?
Emma: Well I am glad you like the song because it is
very upbeat. And it is a good dancy track. My
influences? They are very Motown. Stevie Wonder, Diana
Ross and Chaka Khan definitely.
Elaine: Do you prefer being in a band or a solo
artist?
Emma: I would have to say that I feel very lucky that
I am able to do both. Being a solo artist is very
rewarding in that I write all my own stuff, which is
just amazing. And being in a band is great fun. You
just have lots of fun with your girlfriends, who you
love dearly. I couldn't ever pick one.
Katie: Which of your songs is your favourite and why?
Emma: I actually think my latest because it is so
upbeat. It is very girly. I always stick it on when my
girlfriends come round and we have a real laugh to it.
It gets you smiling. So, I would have to say 'We're
Not Gonna Sleep Tonight' is my favourite single.
Angie: Which movies do you like to watch when you are
having a cosy night in with Jade?
Emma: I am a big Grease fan. I love singing along to
them. Jade plays Danny and I play Sandy, and it is
very good fun. Oh, that is pretty scary isn't it? But
there is lots of great movies out. And I am a big kid
so I do like 'Shrek' and 'Toy Story' and stuff like
that.
Emma: If you were just an ordinary girl who was a
massive, massive fan of the Spice Girls, who would be
your favourite Spice and why? Emma: That is too hard.
I don't know? Probably Sporty because she is a
sweetheart, she is fun and she has got a great voice.
